How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Cohabitation Agreement in Florida

In 2020, a personal client in Florida sought assistance with drafting a cohabitation agreement as they planned to purchase a home together. The client aimed to establish clear responsibilities regarding mortgage payments, shared costs, and procedures for potential changes in their financial situations. Key concerns included the equitable division of expenses and the obligations each party would have in the event of job loss or if they decided to part ways. As a result, the client received four proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $500 to $850, all submitted to meet the client's requested deadline of over a week.
